Health industries

Adelaide is the ideal location for life sciences research and investment.

The South Australian Government is targeting health industry investment, focusing on pharmaceuticals, medical devices, clinical trials, nutraceuticals and digital healthcare.

At the centrepiece, is Adelaide’s BioMed City – one of the largest life sciences clusters in the southern hemisphere – bringing together institutions right across the value chain.

With 43.5% cash back incentives for eligible companies undertaking research and development in Australia, Adelaide’s BioMed City has become the ideal location for clinical trials, analytics and study drug manufacturing.

Just 15 minutes out of the city, Tonsley Innovation District combines university-led research and development with vocational training and advanced manufacturing facilities for companies seeking to produce biomedical devices and other high-tech products and services.
